Pulled out the old AFX track that my wife had from years back and made an interesting find.

The Mobil 05 car that is included is actually....

I can imagine the die hard V8 fans who bought this seeing the large picture on the front of Brocky's VP, and then their outrage after finding the 05 car is a Skyline..."WHAT THE!!....." :happy:

So I decided to correct the error, and got out my paints....

We've actually got 2 sets and therefore 2 GT-Rs, so we painted the other one silver and raced it around Suzuka.

I can see the Hobby Shops now, getting an upturn in business due this OP !!! :P

FACT:- 1991, Peter Brock was having lunch at Blaxland Maccas. So I introduced my 11year old son and Peter asked,

"And what car do you like best?"

Mark replied, "GT-R" to which Peter replied, "Well they're a really great car!"

I'm wondering if he really meant it... so that the GT-R could wipe the floor over those Walkinshaws > VNs etc hehe :happy:

Yeah I used to rock my scalextric when I was a wee lad. The GTR was my fave although I had no idea what it was I think I used to call it a corvette :)

hahaha i pulled my scalextric outlast week and set it up

all 1.3 km of track

my back verandah is now 1 massive track

Some one had a f*king awesome childhood :)

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
